By Terrible Ted..
Please feel free to correct the error of my ways.
The chord changes are basic, seems to me that it's in the key of C for the most part with a short shift once in a while to A, but I can't find the noodley sweet spot (mode) for improvising over this. What am I missing ?
(besides skill, wiseacres ;) )

Main riff is A, actually entire song is in key of A. Octave D to A hammer on (3rd string) with the A drone (5th string). DUH duh..duhduhduh..duh...duh duh duh duh da daduhduhduh duh duh duh boom bah dah.

It's actually in the key of A minor which is C's relative minor key. You should be good just jamming in A minor. It drops down to F#minor for a couple of bars early in the song. I think it's where the solo starts. I hope this helps.

I swear dude when I found that it was still up. The minute I posted it here it went away. I wonder if that is a new feature in trying to link to vids there? Robert do you know?

I tried Am pent. and it didn't sounds right, maybe I'm stinking more than usual.

Are you playing through the main long solo or the break on the first solo...the F#, A, B, F# part? A minor pent should rock there dude. You didn't open tune your guitar did you and forget! ;)
